Patton Oswalt

Patton Oswalt was a delight!!! What a fun episode. If you added him as a third host I wouldn’t be upset.

Love the podcast. You two need to go back to the first few seasons that you didn’t get to do!

Awesome show

Great show I love listening to this podcast as I rewatch the show. Listening to Rob make me think it was as fun to make as it is to watch.

Jerry Larry Gary is the best

Looooove this! Forever a Parks fan & the chemistry between Jim and Greg is great for this. Love Robe Lowe of course, but these two hosts are really working well together.

Thanks for a great podcast!
